Hello!

Has anyone else been bothered by the man with the loudest whistle in the world? He was walking up and down Rye Lane last night at around 10.30, then I (I'm on Peckham Rye, at the top of Rye Lane) could hear him intermittently for a while, then again at 3am when he also seem to have a drum and be shouting. It really is an extraordinary whistle, and combined with shouting and drumming is a bit of a nuisance. Any suggestions what to do? He seemed to be on the Rye for ages last night.

He's down at Rye Lane regularly, busy assisting the bus drivers with their traffic management. I have seen him on occasion act in an intimidating manner...mostly at passing motorists who don't get his take on the Highway Code.


Once saw him get a bit shirty in Inside72, but on the whole seems harmless enough...

Its OMAR - hes a killer - in The Wire ;)


Edit: and if he's here, we really do have Gang Activity.

No He's not white and 80 (unless it's Kaiser Soze) :) ) he wears a yellow HiVis jacket


Directs traffic, whistles LOUDLY and shouts - I see him outside Co-Op House a lot.

Don't worry. It was a joke. This character (from The Wire) used to walk down the street whistling and brandishing a shotgun.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
